Module 5: Final topics

There were a lot of interesting thihgs in the past. For example, ancient buildings and other. And I wanted to tell you about ancient things. I promise, our excursion will interesting!

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near Naples and MT Vesuvius,a volcano in Italy. Pompeii was in 79 AD. This city had: large amphitheatre, theatves where people watched performances,temples,public baths,building had running water.The town of Pompeil had: baker`s,restaurants,hotel.In 79 AD eruption of MT vesurius had happend and the city, and the town was destroyed and buried.

Then we go to the Egypt. Ancient Egyptians lived along the banks of the river Nile in northeast Africa.Pharaohs ruler this great and powerful empire for more than 2"500 years. The ancient Egyptians lived in houses made of mud bricks,but they also built houses and large pyramids from stone.They worked as farmers and artists. Ancient Egypt had a great civilisation which many people still study and admire today.

Loook at the Mediterranean Sea.The ancient Phoenicians were a great civilisation that inhabited the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea.The Phoenician civilisation lasted over 1,000 years. It began about 1550 BC and ended about 300 BC. The Phoenicians were the best shipbuilders and sailors of the ancient world. For more than 400 years, they ruled the seas! They were the first people to learn how to sail usign the stars at night. The Phoenicians were brilliant traders too. They sailed their ships around the Mediterranean, and sold things like wood and glass to the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians.One special item that they straded made them very rich. It was a purple-coloured dye. Purple was the colour of royalty in ancient times. No one in the ancient world knew how to make purple clothes except the Phoenicians.

We can visit this hamlet. Machu Picchu is an ancient Inka site in the Andes Mountains in Peru. It dates back to 1436. 24th July, 1911. Hiram Bingham, an American archaeologist discovered stone buildings with thick walls, homes for the people and a beautiful palace for the emperor. There was even a huge pyramid. The city also had a tall tower, temples, storage rooms, baths, about 150 houses and a park. The Incas were clever people and they knew how to do many things. They weren't only great builders and astronomers. They were also good farmers. They constructed terraced fields around the city and they grew potatoes, corn and cocoa. Machu Picchu was a great city. Hundreds of people lived there. Then, one day, they left, and no one really knows why.

Also we can look at the ancient tribes.The Kwakiutl were fishermen. They had large wooden houses. Seven families could live in one house. They had canoes for fishing, hunting and trading. They used animal skin and even wood to make their winter clothes. The Navajo were farmers and grew crops. They lived in houses made of earth and wood. They travelled on foot. Sometimes dogs pulled them on sleds. The women farmed, looked after children and did the housework. The men hunted and protected the tribe. At first, The Cheyenne lived like the Navajo. When the Europeans brought horses to America, they left their and moved from place to place. The men hunted buffalo. The women built their houses called 'tepees'. They used buffalo skin. They could take them down and move the village in an hour!

We look in Merlin. He is one of the most fascinating figures in British mythology. He was wizard, a poet, a teacher, and an advisor to kings. His story is full of mystery and magic. In the 6_th century the Kings of Britian were fighting great battles with foreign enemies. News of Merlin`s and magical abilities reached King Uther and he became the King`s advisor. Even today, people wonder if Merlin was more than just a character of medeival stories. Real or not, Merlin continues to fascinate people whenever they hear his story.

Then we go to the house ofСatherine the great. She was born in Stettin, Prussia (now Szczecin in Poland), on 2nd May 1729. Her fater was Prince Christian August of the Anhelt family. He was a Prussian army officer and was governor of Stettin. In the 18th wealthy children had their own private teachers and so Catherine received a lot of her education from her French nanny Babette. She learnt French, German, History, Religion and Music. When Catherine was fifteen she went to Russia where she married the Grand Duke Peter in 1745. In Desember 1761, Peter III became Emperator of Russia and Сatherine his empress. During her reign she made Russian a great nation.

And at the end of our excursion we can listen music of 60s. Music was very important to teenagers in the 1960s. They were crazy about music and they listened to their favourite rock and roll bands, like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, on the new radio station, BBC Radio 1. Young people also enjoyed dancing in the '60s. They wore the latest fashions at the dance halls and danced all night long.

I liked Machu Picchu, because It's my text and I like huge pyramid, tall tower, temples and storage rooms in ancient Inca site. Many ancient city changed, and a lot of ancient things remained.
